Imphal, June 06 2022:
A two and a half year old girl who accidentally swallowed a large metallic hairpin survived the ordeal, owing to the timely medical assistance provided by Shija Hospitals & Research Institute (SHRI) on
May 23 .
After the child accidentally swallowed a hair pin while playing at home, the frantic parents rushed her to one hospital after another in the city with complaints of sore throat.
With no hope in sight, one of the hospitals recommended surgeries to remove the foreign body, said a press release by SHRI.
However, the parents did not want to cut open her stomach and remove it surgically, they brought her to SHRI hoping to save her with non-surgical procedures.

The initial investigation in the emergency room reported that the foreign body was in the duodenum.
The patient was immediately prepared for an endoscopic intervention.
A team led by Dr Chandragupta Chongtham (General and Laparoscopic Surgeon) and Dr Kennedy Taiyenjam (Consultant � Anesthesiologist) conducted the endoscopic foreign body removal procedure under general anaesthesia.
During the procedure, the foreign body (approximately 6 cm long) was noted in the duodenum (D2 and D3 junction).
The process of retrieving the hair pin was no easy task, as securing the hair pin with endoscopic forceps was tough.
With due consideration of the risk involved, the team carefully but gradually retrieved it out of harm's way.
The patient's condition gradually improved with the treatment provided and was discharged from the hospital the next day ( on May 24) in good physical condition.
The parents expressed deep gratitude to the treating team, Shija hospital and the entire staff, added the release.
